Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Common questions in Keresley Newlands
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Coventry.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
